Black, who appears in the scene where Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit is used, called Love’s claims "absurd."

The School of Rock star said in defense:

"Kurt Cobain for me is at the top of the pyramid. He's the king … When he died it was sort of the end of rock."

After Cobain's death, Love supposedly sold half of her remaining rights to the music to company Primary Wave Music, who then got the rights to distribute the band's ENTIRE catalog.

The decision to ultimately use the 90s grunge hit in the movie was up to the company, who even reached out to Cobain's surviving bandmates, Dave Grohl (who is also in the film) and Krist Novoselic for permission.

Courtney Love is an offense to the memory of Courtney Love. I think too many years of bad drugs & worse plastic surgery have taken what (little) credibility she ever had. When she gets to heaven (next year), I'm sure Saint Peter will laugh & say, "Wow, I assumed you OD'd about 10 years ago! MY BAD!"

Courtney Love is somewhat of a novelty. She's one of those "stars" that the media keeps relevent just to see what sort of verbal vomit will spew from her myspace blog. She's a joke. I'm not one to take time out of my day and give my opinion on celebrities but just like Everett said shes major offense to Kurts memory and legacy. She clearly keeps trying to ride the Nirvana coat tails… when shes clearly not entitled to it. I'm not saying Kurt would have approved "Smells like…" to be in the movie but he sure as hell wouldn't have blocked it being used from other projects like she has. I think it speaks volumes when YOUR OWN DAUGHTER disowns you and tries to be emancipated. My own mother has done some pretty messed up shit during my childhood (nothing like what Love has done or does) but I never once considered disowning her. Courtney Love just needs to shut the fuck up and worry about her own deminishing music career

Courtney,you sucked as a Mother that your only child wants nothing to do with you. You're nothing but a pretentious pile of excrement. The things you say are said only because of years of drug and alcohol abuse. There is going to come a time when no one is going to know your name other than that blabbering crack whore. Oh wait, I think you just might be there already.

Cobain was great but you can't forget his supporting cast. It also shows that drug addiction is so cool that you can get mixed up w/ a leech parasite that would have been nothing but another junkie looking for a rock star to suck on to.

who cares what that freak thinks. she made lots money off her husbands talent. she wouldn't even be known if she wasn't married to him. what music has she put out that is relevant today? her 15 minutes were up 25 years ago. she should just OD now and get it over with, it's not like anyone will care she's gone. not even her daughter.
